Prespection is that the Mets are the superior team, but not if you are a betting person.

The Nationals are baseball's most profitable road team this season (+$1,520), while the Mets are MLB's fifth worst home team (-$1,380). New York is also in a potential letdown spot after coming off their series with the Yankees.

Head-to-head, the Nationals are 4-3 against the Mets this season despite being the underdog in all seven match-ups.

In Wednesday's meeting, the Mets will be starting Kodai Senga, who took a loss in a 4-1 defeat to Washington back on April 26. Although Senga has been solid this season, New York has dropped each of his last four starts.
The Nationals will be starting Josiah Gray, who has been strong on the road with a 2.74 ERA in 12 starts, which includes him tossing six shutout innings against the Mets back in April.

Out of Gray's last eight road starts, seven of those games have either resulted in a Nationals win or a loss of only one run.
